Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
 
D A Bm F#m
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
D               A
I really don't know
     Bm           F#m
where this story began
    G                D
My friend Houston had got
          A
himself a girl
 
D           A
Swank is her name
  Bm               F#m
she's got the best of him
   G            D
And he's got the best of her
               A
in the palm of their hand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G             A             D
And they could care less what's coming up
G              A                  D
Sometimes the future doesn't have much luck
     G                   A
This wigged-out thing called love
  D         C        Bm
They make it kinda rough
    G          A
And they don't really mind
                   D
They're on their own
 
 
[Riff]
 
D A Bm A 
(x4)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  D         A
They said this has been
Bm         F#m
motionless orbit flight
    G                 D
Around each other
                A
intoxicating their minds
 
  D         A
Dancing in the street
   Bm               F#m
under suburban lights
   G               D
They stumbled to the concrete
              A
without a hurt
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G             A             D
  And they could care less what's coming up
G              A                  D
 Sometimes the future doesn't have much luck
   G                A
This wigged-out thing called love
  D         C        Bm
They make it kinda rough
   G          A
And they don't really mind
                   D
They're on their own
 
 
[Riff]
 
D  A  Bm A 
(x4)
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G              A
To love, lose and control
                  D
So you better hold on
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D  A  Bm  F#m  G  D  A 
(x2)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G             A            D
As they walked together in time
G              A                  D
Leaving all the drunks behind
   G                A
This wigged-out thing called love
  D         C        Bm
They make it kinda rough
   G          A
But they don't really mind
                   D
They're on their own
 
 
[Outro]
D  A  Bm A 
(x4)
